In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.

I’m a great believer in solving hard problems by using a checklist. You need to get all the likely and unlikely answers before you; otherwise it’s easy to miss something important.

The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.

I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much credit as I do for the trophies we've won.

现在，这个世界上剩下孤零零的我一个人了。除了我和我的影子，再也没有兄弟、邻里、伙伴。
